Long Trail AleBrown Ale - 4.6% ABVPete This is a typical brown ale. It has some mild, but no overpowering flavors, and it is perfectly smooth, with very little aftertaste. It's worth drinking, but it won't keep me coming back for more.

Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's

Long Trail Barrel Aged UnearthedImperial Stout - 9.6% ABVPete This has a hint of chocolate in it, and it is super rich. Unfortunately, that gets completely overwhelmed by how boozy it is.

Long Trail Belgian WhiteBelgian White - 4.7% ABVPete As a Belgian White lover, I like this beer. I am generally not a fan of unfiltered beers, as it can lend to some inconsistent tastes, and this was definitely the case here, more so than must witbiers. If you are choosing between Belgian White’s, , this is a decent option, but there is nothing special about it. You might as well spring for an Allagash White.

Long Trail Blackbeary WheatFruit Beer - 4.0% ABVPete I am a huge fan of this beer. I was expecting an overpowering fruity flavor, but was pleasantly surprised to have a true beer flavor with a hint of blackberry. I honestly bought this beer because the logo on the front is great, but I would buy it again based on taste.

Long Trail Citrus Limbo IPAIPA - 7.6% ABVPete This is pretty much exactly the same as the regular one. It just doesn't have enough flavor.

Long Trail Cranberry GoseGose - 5.2% ABVPete This has a tiny hint of sour and a definite taste of cranberry. I wanted more flavor, and I'm not sure cranberry is really the right choice of fruit for this, but at least it's a little different.

Long Trail HarvestBrown Ale - 4.6% ABVPete This one is solid, but it could use more flavor. It has some hints of sweetness, but it left me wanting more.

Long Trail HibernatorWinter Ale - 5.6% ABVPete This beer just plain isn't very good. It's not that it tastes bad, it's just that it doesn't taste like anything, which is pretty impressive for a beer that packs a decent punch.

Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's

Long Trail Hit The Trail AleBrown Ale - 4.4% ABVPete This is the definition of an average beer. It is pretty smooth, has a little bit of sweetness, but lacks defining flavors, and doesn't have enough alcohol to suit my tastes.
